About us
Doodles Academy is a national arts non-profit dedicated to ensuring all kids, regardless of their background, have access to high-quality arts curricula. We work to close the opportunity gap by providing a powerful art curriculum, either at low cost or for free, to schools and communities that may otherwise not be able to afford it.

We believe in using curriculum to create change, and thus we offer exceptional visual art curricula that provides outlets for young learners to develop and express their individuality while expanding their knowledge of the world and the diverse group of people they share it with. Within our projects we offer resources to connect literacy and social studies content, often offer video tutorials, and connect to contemporary as well as classic artworks. This increases the perceived value of art education and encourages use by schools that might not value art for art's sake.

We design our impactful lessons for educators of all backgrounds, even those who are not formally trained art teachers, to ensure that this art program is accessible even to schools without an established art program or teacher.

Our 'home-base' is in Ann Arbor, where we develop and test curricula in workshops and classes.

Description:
We are seeking multiple volunteers to assist our lead teachers in a district-wide art program.

Volunteers will be matched with the lead teacher and support the after-school programming on our last week of class. This opportunity is to help teachers on the final day of class. Most schools end the week of May 20th, but exact end dates vary depending on the school times are from 3:30-5:30.

Volunteers will assist the lead teacher by recording student testimonials of the final day of camp. The teacher may also have volunteers take photographs and/or help with supply distribution clean up as needed. Volunteers will work directly with students, helping them to realize and document their unique creative vision.

Spring After School Curriculum: Animal ARTventures
Explore how science and art beautifully intertwine. Embark on a journey of scientific and artistic discovery, starting with field sketches to master the art of observation, just like a scientist. Study an animal's habits and habitat, and use these insights to make some incredible drawings of your animal. Finally, transform your drawings into stunning watercolor masterpieces. Join us on this thrilling adventure to explore the wonders of the natural world and the exciting overlap between art and science! Instructor: Doodles Academy staff.

1st-5th grade

Requirements: All volunteers would need to have a background check run with the AAPS.

Reading is the foundation for all learning, and yet 60 percent of Detroit children under five live in poverty, with the majority of kids not ready for kindergarten. By third grade, only 14 percent read at grade level.

We know that, given the opportunity, students who are behind can and will excel in reading. That’s why Reading Partners and Brilliant Detroit are working together to harness the power of community to provide students with access to high-quality learning opportunities. Are you ready to help a student become a lifelong learner?

Conversations to Remember is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated towards combating loneliness and isolation felt by senior citizens. Our virtual visit program matches 2-3 college students with residents of long-term care, assisted living, and memory care communities for virtual video visits. These residents have been suffering from isolation, and you could really brighten their days just by speaking with them. We provide training about the best ways to interact with the seniors, as well as additional support throughout our volunteers' service. Since these visits are virtual, you can do it without any travel. This is both convenient, and allows more time to be spent volunteering, rather than commuting to the volunteering location. We provide this program free of charge to seniors across the country, and have students from around the country as well. 

Typically, students volunteer 1-2 hours per week. Each call lasts up to one hour, based on the senior's attention span and mood on each day. We expect students to volunteer for approximately 16 weeks, so that they can build a friendship with the senior. This does not need to coincide with the start of a semester, as we have new seniors starting all the time, and train new volunteers weekly. The students are matched based on the times that they're available, with a senior who is available at the same time, and they will have a regular, weekly appointment for their visit. Students wishing for more visits or other opportunities that allow them to volunteer more hours can be accommodated with different ways to volunteer, such as assisting us with our social media, call support, or outreach.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about the program, or to look through our website, at https://conversationstoremember.org. Your students can register to volunteer by filling out a volunteer interest form on our website. If you'd like a flyer to tell your students about us, you can find one here.

CASA volunteers must be 21 years or older, pass an extensive screening and background check, and have the ability to commit 10-20 hours a month to the case.

What Is It?

Hope Not Handcuffs is an initiative started by Families Against Narcotics (FAN), aimed at bringing law enforcement and community organizations together in an effort to find viable treatment options for individuals seeking help to reduce dependency with heroin, prescription drugs, and alcohol. It is a solution.

How It Works

A person struggling with any substance use disorder can come to any of the participating police agencies and ask for help. They will be greeted with support, compassion, and respect. If accepted into the program*, the individual will be guided through a brief intake process to ensure proper treatment placement.
 
If a person is uninsured or has Medicaid, we will work directly with the local Office of Substance Abuse Services for placement. If a person has private insurance, we will provide them with treatment options covered by their plan. Regardless, our team will work to get them into treatment as soon as possible. We have more than 600 volunteer Angels, and one of them will help with paperwork and provide compassionate support until a treatment option is found.

​

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Hope Not Handcuffs team, please complete the following information and we will be in contact shortly.

Questions: 833-202-HOPE (4673) or kiml@familiesagainstnarcotics.org

* If you are currently in recovery, please list your sobriety date and what programs you are working to maintain your sobriety under the Special Skills or Qualifications section.  Any applicants under two years will be carefully reviewed by the Hope Not Handcuffs Committee.  Thank you for your understanding.
